Although the founders of the Ming Dynasty had a low level of education, they were indeed a dynasty that paid great attention to etiquette. No matter what they did, they had a complete set of itinerary standards, such as the new king ascended the throne, which was designed very closely.
As soon as she arrived near the imperial city, Xian Ruxing couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage, regardless of Zhu Houcan's attempt to keep her. She felt that if she sat down, the old man Mao's eyes would be on fire.
Following the team into the Forbidden City, the throne ceremony was followed.
To be honest, according to Xian Ruxing's modern people's eyes, he does not feel solemn and solemn, at least it is much worse than the National Day military parade. Although the civil and military officials abide by etiquette, they have not been strictly trained after all, and their movements are sparse and frown when they look at them.
.
As for Zhu Hougui, the child is only fifteen years old this year, and he has barely lost his baby fat. In the past two years, he has started to get rid of his height, and his size has become much like a thin bamboo pole. The yellow robe robe sways on his body.
It looks quite funny with the heavy crown of the emperor.
However, Xian Ruxing did not laugh at him this time. Thinking of this self-confidence encounter, every bit along the way, he suddenly felt relieved that the child had grown up.
When the auspicious time was heard, the bells and drums were ringing, and the officials divided into civil and military columns were dressed in dresses, and under the guidance of the Honglu Temple, they began to perform the ceremony of five bows and three bows. After the edict was finally read, the entire throne ceremony was declared over.
Because of his special identity, Xian Ruxing did not participate in the ceremony in full, so he was taken to the Qianqing Palace after showing his face.
This place is where the Emperor of Ming Dynasty lived and held family banquets. It is one of the three palaces behind the inner court. Apart from the left and right greenhouses, you can see the golden screens on both sides of the pillars as soon as you enter. In front of the screen is the dragon throne that symbolizes the imperial power, above the throne
There is a plaque "Zhengda Guangming".
About seven years ago, Emperor Zhengde played with fire here and burned most of the Qianqing Palace. After finally rebuilt it, this man ran to the leopard room all day long, so everything here seemed particularly new, which was cheaper for Zhu Houyuan
.
After finishing the palace ceremony, the boy strode back to the Qianqing Palace. When he saw Xian Ruxing, he was excited and said, "How is it? I am so majestic today!"
Seeing that he was excited, Xian Ruxing knew that the boy had not recovered yet, so he poured him a glass of water and asked him to calm down.
Zhu Houcan obediently drank the water, but still persistently asked the other party how he was.
Xian Ruxing was a little helpless and could only applaud exaggeratedly: "Wow, Your Majesty is so awesome! I admire you so much!"
"Not sincere at all." Zhu Houcan rolled his eyes and turned his head in disgust.
At this time, the eunuch Zhang Yong, the chief eunuch in charge of the seal, reported something, and after entering the house, he saluted respectfully at Zhu Houcong, "Your Majesty, the year number proposed by the court has come down, please check it out."
Although Zhu Hougui has ascended the throne now, the Emperor Daxing has not yet been buried, so the remaining months of this year will still be used to the Zhengde era name and will not be changed until after New Year's Eve. However, these things should be decided first, so the cabinet started early.
Prepare.
When Zhu Houcon heard that it was his year name, he immediately took a look with great enthusiasm. However, as soon as he caught his eyes, his face became gloomy. He saw that at the bottom of the memorial, only two big characters were written - "Shaozhi".
Shao means inheritance.
The meaning of this year's title is to let him inherit the governance of his previous emperor.
But what is his cousin going to inherit? Should he let himself learn from him to do that ridiculous thing?
Zhu Houcong sneered and threw the memorial aside. He thought for a while, then suddenly looked at Xian Ruxing, hesitated for a while, and said shyly: "Or, please help me decide on the year name."
"Ah?" Xian Ruxing was studying the structure of the Ganqing Hall, but was suddenly stopped and couldn't help but feel a little confused. "I have to follow His Majesty for the rest of my life. What's going on?"
Zhu Houcong also knew that his request was a bit unresponsive, but he just wanted the other party to take it, so he casually found an excuse, "Well... I don't like it because the cabinet has made a decision. You are not a person who practices Taoism, so you can't mess with it. .”
Knowing that this kid has always been stubborn, Xian Ruxing refused for a few times but failed, he could only say helplessly: "Then call it Jiajing." Anyway, this is what history is written.
"Jiajing," Zhu Houying muttered several times, his eyes softened more and more, "Jia is auspicious, Jing, peace in the world. Does the immortal master actually have such high expectations for me? Don't worry, I will definitely not let the immortal master down. .”
Xian Ruxing: "..." Somehow, he said he wanted to assist him. The other party's thinking suddenly became very broad, and he was moved by himself, but it was not harmful anyway, so he simply ignored him.
The year name is just a trivial matter, and the court officials were unwilling to argue with the new king because of this, so they decided to do so.
After Zhang Yong left, Zhu Houcun walked around the house, first touching the thick golden pillar in the Ganqing Hall, then walked to the highest point, sitting on the dragon throne with his butt.
"Well, it's not very comfortable." The boy hadn't passed the freshness yet, and he just felt that it was interesting to see anything. He moved to the side, made a place for someone, and then asked Xian Ruxing to come and sit there too.
"!!!" Xian Ruxing stared at him horrifiedly.
Zhu Houcong, who had already completely floated, knew that he had made up his words, licked his mouth awkwardly, and said angrily: "I didn't say it."
In order to prevent him from doing anything amazing, Xian Ruxing hesitated and took the initiative to speak: "Otherwise, I'll take a photo for you to commemorate."
After saying that, he got into the space and brought out the Polaroid that he had bought at a discount.
Although I have witnessed the other party casting this "thousand-mile" spell, I am still very shocked every time I see it.
Zhu Houcan looked at the square and bright colored thing in Xian Ruxing's hand and couldn't help but say curiously: "What is this."
Xian Ruxing took a photo and adjusted the mode first.
When the photo was presented to Zhu Houcong, the emperor was so shocked that he could not speak.
"Is this the rumored immortal magic weapon?" The young man looked at Palm in awe.
Xian Ruxing: "...it's not that craftsmen can make it. Well, of course, it can't be made at this time."
"I know, the immortal craftsman!" Zhu Houcan nodded quickly.
It was too troublesome to explain, Xian Ruxing simply skipped the topic, asked the other party to pose and took a photo of him.
Zhu Houcong looked at the film and felt unsatisfied, "Why do I look so stupid? No, wait for me to adjust and do it again."
So Xian Ruxing was forced to witness Emperor Jiajing's various tricks...
Soon, there was only the last piece of photo paper left in the camera. Although there were still a lot of stocks at home, Xian Ruxing, who had been a royal photographer for almost an hour, felt exhausted physically and mentally. He waved his hand and signaled that he would be here today.
Zhu Hougui, who was still unsatisfied, pulled her over and said, "Let's take one together, just one, and I won't play after all."
"Ah? Okay. Then your Majesty stand over." Xian Ruxing leaned on his shoulders and subconsciously compared a "v" gesture. Seeing this, Zhu Houcong quickly learned and compared one.
Finally looking at the photo, Xian Ruxing almost thought she was on a spring outing with her high school male classmate.
The boy who achieved his wish carefully put away a stack of photos, saying that they can take photos once every festival in the future. It will definitely be interesting to take them out and watch when they are old.
"Let's talk about it." Xian Ruxing called him casually, not taking it seriously.
...
The ministers of the Ming Dynasty lived a difficult life. Unlike the Song Dynasty, which "governed the world with scholars and officials", just talking about the morning dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Taizu, stipulated that officials of the fourth rank and above must participate. So the ministers had to get up at midnight.
I traveled through half of the capital and went to the Meridian Gate to wait. During this period, I even had a tragedy in which officials could not see the road clearly and finally fell into the water and drowned.
When the drum on the Meridian Gate sounded, the minister lined up according to the grade, and the palace gate opened at 5 a.m. and entered one after another. Among them, some people who coughed, spitted or were unstable would be recorded by the censor in a small notebook.
, wait for the treatment.
Fortunately, except for Zhu Yuanzhang's energy-intensive and diligent work in court, the next few games and the other lazy ones were basically every two months or three months starting from Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen.
Zhu Houcon had just ascended the throne and was energetic and planned to do a big fight. So he attached great importance to his first court meeting and got up early to prepare.
This was also the first time he had observed his subordinate officials in a close and complete manner.
The young man was wearing a big red leather suit, while the officials were wearing court suits, standing on the danmu, lined up in the east and west rows, bowing to the emperor in one go, and shouting "Sage Bow and All Blessings" made Zhu Houcan feel comfortable all over.
As the Grand Tutor and the Chief Auxiliary of the Cabinet, Yang Tinghe naturally stood first.
He is sixty-two years old this year and is already considered long-lived in this era. However, although he is old, his figure is still upright, with thin faces and handsome eyebrows. It can be seen that he must have been very beautiful when he was young.
Zhu Houcon knew that the Ming Dynasty had a strong humeral power, but he had the upper hand in both short fights, so he was very relaxed.
When he first met, he tried his best to show his approachable side, treated the court officials very kindly, and even had a smile on his voice. The civil and military officials were naturally very respectful, and for a moment they felt a bit like a match between the king and the minister.
Zhu Houxiang was proud and even felt that it was not difficult to be an emperor. Perhaps it was his ancestors who had really appeared, and this position belonged to him innately.
After explaining a few words, he was about to retreat to the court, but suddenly, Mao Cheng, the Minister of Rites, stood up.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Zhu Hougui felt a "knock" in his heart, and he felt a little uneasy inexplicably, but he still calmly followed the action.
"Your Majesty, the country cannot be clear if it is not a great ceremony. Your Majesty asked the Ministry of Rites to be the honorable title of King Xingxian the day before yesterday. After discussion by the Ministry of Rites, according to the ancestral system, you should now call Emperor Xiaozong the Emperor's Imperial College, King Xingxian the Emperor's uncle, Xingxian the Emperor's uncle.
The princess is the emperor's uncle, so she can correct her body."
Even though he was prepared, Zhu Houcong was still angry with him and barely maintained his demeanor and said, "What's the matter with me entering the court with the etiquette of the emperor? Besides, King Xingxian has only one son. If I adopt him to Xiaozong, then
Isn’t the King Xing’s lineage going to get rid of his heirs? Could it be that if I become the emperor, I will also implicate my mother and sisters and become commoners and have no homelessness?”
Mao Cheng seemed to have been prepared for this and said sternly: "Your Majesty does not need to worry. Prince Yi has a wealth of descendants and can adopt a branch to King Xingxian. The court has already sent someone to inform him. King Yi himself also agreed, so he will not be able to make Xing.
King Xian has no son and the country has been eliminated."
At this time, Zhu Houcon realized that these people seemed to be still in control during these days, but in fact they were all arranged, and only he was still complacent.
He held the dragon throne tightly until his joints turned white, and used a strong sting to keep himself awake. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "How can parents be so rash? Why should we let the officials discuss it and see if there is any
Where there is no etiquette."
After hearing what the emperor said, the people below were not fools, so they naturally knew the emperor's intentions, so they really wanted to step forward, wondering whether to show their face to the new king.
At this moment, Yang Tinghe, who had not spoken before, suddenly spoke, and with just one sentence, the room was ready to move.
"After a major event in the country, if there are strange things, they will be evil," he glanced gently, his voice was plain and powerful, "The evil should be killed."
In an instant, everyone stopped talking.
You should know that during the period when Zhengde died and Zhu Houcong arrived in the capital, the Chief Assistant Yang monopolized the power and resolutely resigned. Not only did he deal with the adopted sons who had been surrounded by Zhengde, but he even arrested the officials of the imperial court of the Jinyiwei court.
You have to catch it, you have to kill it.
For a moment, the heads rolled down, and even the water in the moat turned red.
The emperor has only been a few days since he ascended the throne, but Yang Tinghe has accumulated power for decades. Everyone knows which one is more important.
"Okay, Grand Tutor Yang is so powerful!" Zhu Houcong was so angry that he rushed to his forehead. He had never suffered such grievances and humiliation when he grew up so old. He said sternly: "I have objections now. You should take me as a traitor!"
When the emperor said such words, the ministers naturally couldn't sit still. So they saluted one after another and said loudly: "I'm waiting for thousands of deaths!"
It is impossible to admit your mistakes, but it is impossible to change your words.
Those who were still in love with Zhu Hou a few quarters of an hour ago were buried their heads at this time, for fear of being named by the emperor.
Looking at the civil and military officials in the court, Zhu Houcong looked gloomy and seemed to want to record all these faces. On the day he took power, he would attack all these people.
Wishes are beautiful, but reality is cruel.
Now there is not a single confidant around you, and the young man can only make him cheat. He said that there are too many things on the first day of today and some of them cannot be handled. I will discuss it later.
Yang Tinghe did not force him. His decades of official career made him understand what to do and what not to do. Although the new king was only fifteen years old, he obviously had an idea in his heart. To be honest, he was already a little regretful at this time.
No matter how weak an emperor is, he is still an emperor, and no matter how powerful a minister is, he is also a minister.
He could see clearly. However, when he thought of the time he spent with Emperor Xiaozong back then, he still made up his mind. The king was as kind as the sea. How could he bear to let Emperor Xiaozong die?
I just hope that while I can still move, I will settle this matter this morning.
The little emperor was disappointed when he touched the court officials. Xian Ruxing naturally didn't know that because of his special identity, he could not enter the inner court. So Zhu Houcan waved his pen and arranged for her to stay in the Fengxian Palace for a temporary residence.
Fengxian Hall is next to the emperor's bedroom. It is worshipped here on the Birthday Day, New Year's Day, National Day, etc., so it is also called "Little Taimiao". Xian Ruxing's living in is considered a professional match. However, this place is usually a few eunuchs and palace maids.
There was no one, so when Zhou Du, the eunuch in charge of Renshou Palace, rushed over, he saw all kinds of rare treasures moving in like a tide.
Xian Ruxing was also surprised when he saw the visitor, "You mean, the Empress Dowager called me over?"
Seeing what it means to be "a rich man" Zhou Du put away his original arrogance and said respectfully: "The Queen Mother had heard that Taoist Xian, who was beside Long Live, had a strong magical power, so she specially sent a servant to ask you for a lecture."
The visitor was not kind, Xian Ruxing muttered in her heart, but it happened that there was something wrong with her, so Feng Qingyun smiled indifferently, "Then I'll help my father-in-law lead the way.":,,.
